Puff pastries with minced meat in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare puff pastries, prepare everything you need. You can make puff pastry yourself or buy it ready-made in the store. And it makes no difference whether you use yeast or yeast-free. Remove frozen puff pastry from the freezer in advance and defrost at room temperature. Minced meat can be used from any type of meat. I will cook with pork. Onions add juiciness to the minced meat, so you can take a larger onion

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and finely chop. Add chopped onion to the minced meat. Separate the egg white and yolk. Set the yolk aside for greasing the pies. Add the protein to the bowl with the minced meat. Add a little salt and spices to taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix the whole mass very well. It is most convenient to do this by hand. All ingredients should be evenly distributed among themselves.

4. STEP 4

   

   Roll out the layer of puff pastry a little and cut into 6 squares. Make 2-3 cuts on the corner of each square, as shown in the photo.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place a little meat filling on the corner of the dough where there are no cuts and cover with the opposite part. Pinch the edges.

6. STEP 6

   

   Cover a baking tray with baking paper and place the prepared pies on it.

7. STEP 7

   

   Brush the surface of all pies with egg yolk. If desired, at this stage, you can sprinkle the pies with sesame seeds. Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 30-35 minutes. Be guided by your oven.

8. STEP 8

   

   The finished pies will become an appetizing, golden color. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Cool the pies a little and help yourself.

9. STEP 9

   

   These pies can be given to children as a snack or served at the holiday table as an appetizer. Bon appetit!
